This was not inspired by real life events. I am not a germaphobe. I do not have mysophobia. That large bottle of hand lotion on my desk has nothing to do with the number of times I wash my hands. Completely unrelated to this, I can’t remember the last time I was sick.

@drakey: troll-bane for the win! i need to get meatspace famous just to do that

imaging, your salting you walk in the midst of a (stereotypically, last year’s 23 inches was the most in, like, 50 years in Vancouver) long Canadian winter, the grains lodge under your nails, and your eyes begin to itch from the dry air…

sorry ’bout the double post, but the following have a high likelyhood of being the tiles this week: Xavier, lansherr, grey, munroe, d’ancanto. a suprising number of characters have no last or “non-mutant” name, logan is special though, his memory loss means he has no ability of regaining it. on a side note, he should be able to watch ten minutes of history channel and get a billion flashbacks, so what’s up with that?

What about the likelihood of things like Parker, Storm, Stark, Banner, or any of the OTHER Marvel character’s last names, or even comic book characters in general, just cause the first one lands in X-men doesn’t mean they all will. Give Chris some credit, I’ll bet he’s got something original up his sleeve, and I’m not talking about a wrist-mounted hand sanitizer dispenser… That’s been there for months.

@ Michael: Be grateful. Wasabi is stronger, but it doesn’t last as long. Or at least it works like that in the sinoviaculinary way. And I wouldn’t reccomend testing this experience by any other method.

I had a similar experience when I got some steak tacos at Milwaukee’s Bradford Beach snack bar. They looked *really* good in the article about great summer eats, but the eye did not reveal from the picture or the item itself what the mouth was in for. I believe there may have been a warning at the counter, but who takes those things seriously?

ahhh thats not as bad as rubbing your eyes after getting sambo sauce (its like insanly hot chilli stuff that seems to be made to burn through tables, people like it) now that was painfull o god did it hurt

Aww crap….I did that last week! Not with sanitizer, but I am fond of slicing cucumbers and soaking them in vinegar (with salt or salt substitute) and I unthinkingly did this after I had finished with the vinegar. OWIE!

The week before this comic, we set off bug bombs in our house and I didn’t cover my contact lens case. The next morning, I was wondering why my eyes were burning so much. I considered calling in blind.

@Croc Look at the title for the comic- Summers. Scott Summers, as in Cyclops. The next one is Worthington, as in Warren Worthington III, who is Angel, thus the wings. Totally called it. (LazerWulf was far more specific and therefore technically more correct, though. Shoot.)
